GrandMagnus Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Hi brothers, My Unforgiven order just arrived today and Im still a bit stuck between Guardians of the Covenant or a DIY chapter (I will most likely be painting one of each to see what I like best). I need help with a few ideas for colour schemes for the DIY, tell me what you think: Im not entirely sure about their badge yet, but Im thinking maybe a lions head or a raven talon. The lions head is inspiration from the Lannisters from Game of Thrones. So brothers, lend me your wisdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I like them all :tu:. But if I had to choose I'd go for #2. I like the combo of black armour plate, red shoulder pads and bone robes. Can see it looking great on bikes, vehicles and skimmers too. Cheers I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMan Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'd either go Guardians (very cool scheme) or the red armour with cream robes. That would look pretty sweet, i think. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyfax Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Personal favorite is number 3 I think, the bone robes fits with the DA inner circle idea and the green shoulderpads are a nice reference to the DA. Only thing is that its perhaps very close to how a DA Chaplain looks. Nr. 1 feels too Black Templar-ish to me, and the full red armors too blood angel. Nr 2 is a nice option as well, although I'd prefer a hint of green somewhere as reference to the DA perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I agree with Isiah, the second one looks best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Lucifer Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I like #4. But it is too close to BA for comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Thanks for the input so far brothers. I have taken your advice and removed the 2 red ones. While I must admit that I like painting red you were right, they look a lot like robed blood angels and red is not really a colour that fits with the dark feel of the Unforgiven like blacks, bone and green do. So far Im inclined for number 3 because of what brother Cyfax said, the green adds a nice touch of "dark angels descendant". Number 2 also calls to me. Please let me hear more of your advice or opinions. I would also like to hear ideas for chapter badges, as I said so far I have in mind a golden/yellow lions head or a white/black ravens talon.

Grand Master Belial Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I like the second one. It seems to harken back to the original legion colors. By using the DA sword, that could also tie them into the Unforgiven. If not as a Chapter badge then as the squad badge. A horizontal sword for Tactical, crossed swords (like the GotC) for assault and a vertical point up sword for Devastator. I also like the third even with its lighter green (though it reminds me of Death Guard for a reason I do not know). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Master Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I think #2 As said cross between DA original colours and GOTC. DM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Thanks brothers, Im currently testing colours. I have already painted a GofC marines, I must say I like the scheme a lot but Im wondering how it would look on vehicles... I will next paint one of scheme #1 and #3.
